The size of the elderly segment of the population is increasing in developing countries as the latter undergo a demographic transition, with a concomitant increase in life expectancy. Indeed, it is estimated that by the year 2025 the majority of the elderly people worldwide will reside in developing countries . Developing countries are thus likely to face an enormous burden of chronic non-communicable diseases in the near future. Of these diseases, hypertension is one of the most important treatable causes of mortality and morbidity in the elderly population and accounts for a large proportion of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly population The situation is critical in the Southeast Asian region with studies reporting HTN as an important risk factor for attributable burden of disease in the region. An alarming rise in HTN projected by the Global Burden of Hypertension 2023 study and the GBD 2023 study portrays a grim picture for the Indian population . Beyond programs aimed at the prevention of hypertension, treatment of hypertension remains a challenge in many parts of the world. Looking at the existing burden of disease, the Indian Government has launched the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke for prevention and control of disease at community level.
